Lovely post Steve...nice to see you so focussed
You've made massive changes to your life over the past year, and you should be extremely proud of all that you have achieved. The trouble is, most people can only see the physical changes in you ie. your weight loss. They don't know the changes that have gone on inside your head while you've been on this journey. And there must be big changes to have reached the point you have got to. You've altered your whole way of eating, and your attitude to food and exercise...and life!
You're not daft, I'm sure you know if you're over doing it. Just make sure you're realistic & honest with yourself about how much exercise you really need to do, and what weight you want to be. I have been having a similar experience myself with well meaning friends and relatives raising concerns that I shouldn't lose any more weight...even though I still have a bmi of 25.5 (just over the upper limit for my height) and am still overweight. But bless them for caring, and you should be pleased too that you have people around you who love you enough to care x
I hardly ever have bread now btw...maybe at the weekend I'll have a couple of slices of wm toast as my B for breakfast, but that's it. In fact I can't remember the last time I had a sandwich, and I don't really miss it.
Stay happy x
